Cloud cover. Breezy. Feeling more cold. Took standard route from Loch Cuaich up SE ridge of Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach. Straightforward to this point. Felt very cold by 850m - increasing NE wind. Route from here to summit appears to be via simple but steep path, but this was buried under considerable (steep) snowfields in places. Forced a steep, icy, bouldery scramble. Slightly heartrate elevating in places. Summit easy to locate. From summit, elected to come down the S ridge (this aspect was much less frozen), and without further drama, completed the circuit. My guidebook says 3hrs45 for this walk. It took me 5hrs30. Conditions were a bit tricky | wychwood | 01/03/2023 |

Circuit of Sgurr a' Mhaoraich and tops. Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach, Sgurr a' Mhaoraich, steep drop and then very steep climb to Am Bathaich. Continued to Sgurr Thionail and descended E ridge to Glen Quoich. Intermittent sunshine and showers with some excellent views down Loch Hourn and to the S Glen Shiel ridge. | RobertP | 30/05/2022 |

Treacherous new snow on top but an outstanding stalkers' path up and down. Views got better after I left summit! | NorfolkPT21 | 02/04/2022 |
Straight up from South beside waterfall using old stalkers path. Visited Simm on the way, then the Munro. Melting snow. Mostly still covered higher up. With Band R. | jenx | 10/03/2022 |
Solo ascent on CHMC 2021/22 Kingie NY Trip | tleach12 | 04/01/2022 |
Solo ascent in semi-winter conditions from car park near the concrete bridge. Used the stalker path for the ascent, was fine up to the ridge, then patchy snow and ice made the going a little slower, though not enough that I needed to put the spikes on. Used the ice axe a bit for the final few bits of ascent (big drops). Drizzled icy rain/sleet for most of the day, and dismal vis above 900m, so sacked the idea of doing the horseshoe, and just decided to drop straight down to Coire nan Eirichean instead - down to a hydro track which led back to the single-track road, and then the last couple of kms back to the car. Total time 5h 25min. | mproudfoot | 12/12/2021 |

Second day of a caravan trip to Corpach, near Fort William and I settled on a hike on the north side of Loch Quoich (called Cuaich on some maps). There is a surprisingly well-built path up and over Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach (891m) and to the large cairn on top of Sgurr A’ Mhaoraich (1027m), a Munro. 
There was cloud above 850m to start with, but this was lifting and by the time I made it to the summit, there were great views down Loch Hourn. I bagged the Munro Top of Sgurr A’ Mhaoraoch Beag (948m), then contoured across the southern slope of the Munro and down to Leac nan Gaidhseich, returning to the road at the newish turbine building and walked the roughly 4km back to the car. 
Dry all day, even in the cloud, 6hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 29/05/2021 |

Path all the way to the top. Met couple who abandoned due to high winds, but it wasn't bad and only breezy on ridge. Just before I got to top, cloud came in. Wanted to descend by south ridge but compass pointed wrong direction, a puzzler (magnetic rock?) later pointed in correct direction, but too late as I just returned by same route. | Jhimmy | 14/10/2016 |

Not a bad day in between the showers. Steep at the top. I had started on stalkers track past the baby forrest where they actually build a new road up the hill. It finishes where the stalkers track nearly runs out. Good way in the near term. It might be locked in future. | tallblond | 02/07/2016 |

Parked at the roadside to NW of Loch Coire Shubh. I climbed up to Sgùrr a’ Mhaoraich Beag, surprised to find there was a path for most of the way. Continued to the summit of Sgùrr a’ Mhaoraich. I went northwards over quite complex terrain. It was a bit misty. Reached the Corbett top of Sgùrr Thionail. Returned southwards for a bit and then crossed a corrie floor and climbed up to the 892m top of Am-Bàthaich. This top, which is the only top of Am-Bàthaich to have a height marked on the OS 1:50,000 map, is not the highest point of Am-Bàthaich. This is further along the summit ridge in a direction WSW. I followed the ridge to the highest point. I could see clearly that this was the highest point. I continued to the col between Sgùrr a’ Mhaoraich and Sgùrr a’ Mhaoraich Beag and eventually found my ascent route and followed it back to the car. | pwbellarby | 09/08/2003 |

My 4th to last Munro with Smithy on a showery day with mist on the summit. Straightfoward ascent from Loch Quoich over the tops to the summit of Sgurr a'Mhaoriach. Went on to do its W top where a view briefly appeared & then for variety went N to the bealach & dropped E to follow Allt Coire a'Chaorain to join the track in Glen Quoich. This is a worthwhile diversion with a wild feel to it. | NotReallyABagger | 02/05/2003 |

my first ascent, solo, overcast, climbed on the goc from a wild camp in gleann dubh lochan, followed the ally ban up, then broke out right to better ground and the summit of the minor top, 607 m. not a recommended route. continued up easier slopes to point 948 then onto the summit of sgurr mhaoraich, were there was a small snow flurry, picked up a rough path along the ridge over minor bumps to sgurr coire nan eiricheallach and the path down to loch quoich and my next camp. | rum doodle | 09/05/1998 |

circuit from about a mile from Kinlochourn up west ridge of the still alight, smouldering and smoking slopes of Sgurr a' Mhaorich 1027m. It was burning downhill. Head north to Am Bathaich 899m and regret having not brought my crampons and axe as northern slopes have patches of steep and hard snow. Great views across to Buidhe Bheinn which I'd hoped to include in a horseshoe. Up to Thionail and heading steeply down realise I've neither the time nor the energy for Buidhe Bheinn today. Little did I know it's ascent would be 17 years away. | vegibagger | 06/04/1996 |

A very enjoyable day, easy by Munros standards. Good, stalkers' path from the road up S slopes and then easily up a rocky ridge to the summit. Next, we decided to go onto the the W- Beag- top: wonderful view of Loch Hourn and a glimpse of a Golden Eagle. Then, over Am Bathaich to descend its E ridge and join another superbly engineered path all the way down. | pwheeler | 23/05/1993 |
